The indefatigable Graham Johnson completely revolutionised the lied recital with his Songmakers Almanac. A typically wide-ranging programme, tonight’s recital is based on the plot of Cosi fan tutte (and containing numerous Mozartian echoes), Johnson has devised a programme of lieder, English songs and duets where the interactions between the Neapolitan sisters, and the manipulative Don Alfonso, progress along Da Ponte’s lines: Sisters in love – “Bella vita militar” – Constancy – Weakening – Capitulation and Abandon – Reconciliation.
